Treasure Hunt offers two rewards for watching Minecraft livestreams. Bedrock is required and sold separately. Mojang's announced campaign runs September 4–13, 2026, with each reward limited to one per person/Microsoft account.
Which stream earns which reward?
| Platform | Eligible livestream | Minimum | Reward |
|---|---|---|---|
| TikTok | Minecraft with Game Reward enabled. | 3 minutes | Aqua Cool Fish |
| Twitch | Partner or Affiliate in the Minecraft category. | 5 minutes | Amethyst Drone |
The official announcement sets the cutoff at September 13, 11:59 p.m. PT, and says the platform provides a code. Do not confuse this with watching a recording or using a universal code.
Important: official pages show different redemption deadlines
During our September 7 review, the announcement required redemption by the end of September 13, while the official redemption portal listed September 30, 2026 for both pets. The portal also specifies redemption on Xbox and PC, with subsequent play across supported platforms.
We recommend completing both viewing and redemption before the earlier deadline. We do not interpret this difference as a confirmed extension. If you already have a code after September 13, check the conditions displayed by its redemption form and contact official support if it fails. Do not discard or sell a code based on a third-party interpretation.
What time does the viewing window end?
This table converts the announced viewing cutoff, not the portal's alternative redemption deadline. These are our time-zone calculations; Pacific Time is UTC−7 on this date.
| Location | Local date | Time |
|---|---|---|
| US Pacific | September 13 | 23:59 |
| Mexico City / Mérida | September 14 | 00:59 |
| Bogotá / Lima | September 14 | 01:59 |
| Buenos Aires | September 14 | 03:59 |
| Madrid, mainland Spain | September 14 | 08:59 |
Avoid telling an international community simply “midnight Sunday.” Members may interpret that as their own local midnight. Include a time zone and leave room for troubleshooting.
Build your own treasure hunt with friends
Run an independent event with TERAMONT Minecraft Hosting. Hosting neither includes nor is required to claim the official rewards.
Complete the process without mixing up accounts
- Choose your reward first. Verify channel eligibility and look for the campaign information inside the streaming platform.
- Check that the broadcast is still live. An ended stream is not an ongoing broadcast. Keep any progress confirmation the platform provides.
- Store the code privately. Do not post it on Discord or in screenshots. Hide it and personal details when requesting help.
- Open the official redemption page yourself. Verify the destination Microsoft account before confirming. Do not use a relative's account merely because it is already signed in.
- Keep the confirmation. If something goes wrong, record the platform, time, and exact error. Those details help support more than repeating the process without knowing which step failed.
The portal uses 25-character codes in a 5×5 grouping and requires a Microsoft account. Check look-alike characters and whether the code was previously used before assuming the campaign is broken. This guide does not guarantee delivery times.
What to check when a reward does not appear
| Problem | First check | Avoid |
|---|---|---|
| No mission progress appears. | Correct livestream, channel, and campaign. | Assuming every Minecraft video counts. |
| A code fails during redemption. | Account, characters, and exact form error. | Publishing the code so someone can “test it.” |
| Redemption succeeded, but content is missing. | Game account and intended place of use. | Installing a plugin or executable that promises to unlock it. |
Official rewards are separate from running your own server
Buying TERAMONT hosting does not unlock this campaign. We do not offer these pets as hosting-plan bonuses. Do not assume Treasure Hunt content becomes a plugin for a Java survival server.
If you want to organize your own treasure hunt with friends, create independent clues and in-game prizes. For example, use three clues of increasing difficulty, a bounded play area, and an explicit rule about who may claim the chest. Test the route first with someone who does not know the answers.
For that separate project, explore our Minecraft hosting and confirm the edition, server platform, and group requirements. Buying hosting is not required to join the official promotion.
Frequently asked questions
Is there one free code everyone can use?
We do not provide or distribute one. Follow the campaign process and avoid sites requesting passwords, payments, or downloads to generate codes.
Can I get everything from one platform?
Each table row corresponds to a different reward. Check the mission for the pet you want, not just the game category.
What would we do?
Complete the mission early, redeem immediately on the correct account, and retain confirmation. The most avoidable complications are waiting until the deadline and confusing a received code with content already applied to an account.
